I went in by myself as I was dying of curiosity, and there was a large party and a couple of small groups. I selected my scents - and selected too many, so got some help winnowing down. One of the staff walked me through the candle making process and they even give you fun glitter to put in it, so it looks like a little glitter mountain is burning! The essential oil scents are widely varied and they don't just have candles- you can make anything from dryer balls to body spray. I had an extra candle made for a friend, and they will keep my scent combo for a time, so I can always return to have more made! You've got to go back in to pick up the candle the following day, but it is worth it.

This time we learned that you can also make your own lotion and hand soap. I'm not sure how we missed that the first time. We both made a couple hand soaps this time. The service was superb even though they were very busy. The only negative thing I would say this time is that we waited for our candles to cool while talking on their couches. Typically, it should be 1 hour. After 1 &1/2 hours, we asked about our candles and they already had them ready and stored away in the closet. They said they didn't know we were there.

I had been to a similar type store before but I liked Sea Love so much better. What I loved the most was that there was a wall of hundreds of scents and you pick 3 to create your own blend. I like musky/smoky scents and my fiancé prefers light, clean scents so we were able to create our own unique blends. There were about a dozen or so "vessels" (jars) to choose from with the prices ranging $35-$50 depending on the size and material. The worker when we went, Giovanna, was friendly and knowledgeable and made our experience a ton of fun. This is perfect for a date, a girls day, or even something fun to do with a group.

You can make your own candle and they have a wall of scents to choose from. A beautiful counter with stools are along the back wall for you to mix your candle. I love that it offers a shopping experience as well. There's a few clothing items, premade candles, bath salts, soaps, jewelry, colognes, diffusers, and more. We picked up a few things, including the softest sweatshirt on discount from valentines. The shop is tucked in the Westport Village with plenty of parking plus other shops and restaurants to make the candle making experience a full day of entertainment. Also, the owner of the shop was lovely! So friendly and upbeat, plus attentive to her customers. #shoplocal

But when the customer experience is 2.5 years in the past, sometimes that happens.* That said, flowers, even if not given in life, are worth giving. So, American Perfumer. Again, I was looking for local, thoughtful gifts that didn't require a lot of standing, shopping and heavy, close breathing to acquire. Smelling good is always on the menu and an under-reviewed business is always quick to get my 'hidden gem/first to review' juices flowing. AP has (had?) a well-appointed, easy-to-navigate site that allows you to sort/shop by brand, perfumers, and elements (concentration, notes, style). This helps to assure that if you can't stand around and sniff a bunch of fragrances (which leads to sales person annoyance, headaches and nose blindness), you can make an educated guess about what your gift recipient (or, yourself) would best like. Genius. Using the tools set before and my incredible knowledge of alchemy, I conjured up a scent so perfect that when my recipient received the scent, she couldn't stop raving about it. That's how you do it. That's how it's done. I hope this store is still around. Others need the opportunity to show off boss gift buying skills. I'm definitely a fan. *Google says the business is closed. Facebook says it's open. Who knows. If you have been so moved by my words, give the business a call and try your luck.

That chore and the experience that spawned it; left an incredibly sour feeling in my soul and I wanted to give back something positive to offset its negativity. I digress, American Perfumer, is a business deserving of the upmost praise, adoration and respect. My first in store experience was nothing short of astonishing. I was able to smell so many scents and was walked through their intricate details effortlessly by Dave (if I have somehow got the name wrong I vehemently apologize.) Being able to describe a scent note and instantaneously be provided several different choices with it in it was a breathtaking, almost ethereal experience. The kindness, professionalism, knowledge and vibe was outstanding. Even during the horrible Covid pandemic he kept email contact with former customers and kept high lighting small independent American perfume creators. The way he understands this artistry is reverent. I look forward to the email correspondence that I receive telling of a new lottery to purchase a limited run or celebrating an Art and Olfaction Award winner. I highly, with no trepidation recommend this business. Dave has created a place of olfactory pleasure and excellence. Please stop by or visit online. You will be a fan too.
